In today’s world, ratings and recommendations carry a lot of weight when considering new products. That’s why the ratings from Buyers Laboratory LLC (BLI), a worldwide leading independent evaluator of document imaging products, mean a lot when they are announced.

A “Highly Recommended” rating is the highest mark a product can receive from BLI, and that is exactly what Sharp received for all ten of its Advanced and Essentials color workgroup document systems.

About The Highly Rated Advanced And Essentials Series

Launched almost exactly one year ago, the color Advanced and Essentials Series workgroup document systems have made a major impression in the document imaging products and solutions industry.

In December 2015, the launch of Sharp’s first six models received a standing ovation for their single-engine platform, easy-to-use common interface and common toner supplies across the line. This was closely followed by four more models in June 2016, taking the series from output speeds of 30 to 60 ppm within a matter of months.

“The Sharp Advanced and Essentials Series Color Workgroup Document Systems easily earned the “Highly Recommended” rating after rigorous testing. The models, designed to meet the needs of any mid- to large-size workgroup, proved that they offer the ease of operability, output quality and flexibility business users need.”
